For a brief moment in the year 2010 AD, suddenly the whole wide world was interested in archaeology.
Even in here in Denmark “archaeology” was a more popular search term than the Danish, “arkæologi”.
Seems like the interest spiked just before christmas of ‘10. Looking up the wiki of events in archaeology (yes, that is a real page) doesn’t reveal any significant events just before christmas - or in December for that matter. Curiouser and curiouser.
But things are getting weirder. Most of the searches on archaeology in 2010 seems to come from Iceland!
However, coming back to the first screenshot, what is perhaps even more interesting - and frankly concerning - is the fact that searches on archaeology seems to be on the decline. I wonder what drives that?
